General Lee, turning slightly back from his advance, had the choice of the battle ground. He selected the heights northwest of Gettysburgh ; and his army of 90,000 met in the first day's fight only a portion of the Union army- 1 5,000, or possibly, 20,000 strong. As the sun went down over hill and valley, it shone upon the Union forces broken, scattered, retreating through the streets of Gettysburgh, and only safe when they had climbed the heights upon the southeast. That night the body of the Union army came up, and during the next two days there was fought the most decisive battle recorded in history subsequent to that of Waterloo. It was a Union victory, but won at a fearful sacrifice. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the news little by little came trembling along the wires, penetrating in fragments every part of the county. On Saturday letters began to reach the friends of the soldiers. The people gathered around the post-offices, and many a tender


MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY. 417


scene occurred as letters were read telling the story of wounding and death. The writer can only recall the one that came under his own notice at the office in Sodus village. Ten men from the town perished at Gettysburgh. The store of Edwin A. Green, postmaster, was filled that evening with an eager but almost silent multitude. The mail was destributed ; daily papers were read to the people with the latest dispatches, and the latest lists of the killed and wounded. Scarcely a voice but that of the reader broke the silence. Then one or more private letters were read by those who had received them. Miss Augusta Granger, sister of Lieutenant N. E. Granger, had driven to the office in company with Miss Mason, who was in her employ. Opening a letter from Mrs. Dr. Vosburgh, she read in a low, sad, but firm voice, the account of her brother's death, with other pathetic incidents. In the hushed silence that followed, she closed her letter, and with scarcely a word, entered with her friend the carriage to return to her home.


The Sunday following was one of deep solemnity. Every- where in tender words the pastors of the churches com- mended the bereaved ones to the tender mercies of the Heavenly Father ; even while in earnest words of patriotic prayer, they asked that brave men might arise to fill the places of the fallen, and carry on the struggle until victory should crown the Union arms.


In several towns, arrangements were immediately made to send relief to the wounded. Fathers went to look after their sons in the hospitals, or to bring back their bodies for burial.


Palmyra held a meeting Sunday afternoon, raised a hand- some sum of money and sent Lieutenant-Colonel Corning and Russell Tibbitts, to render such aid as might be possible on the field. George G. Jessup, John Williamson and George R. Kent, also left for Washington on Monday, to look after friends who had been wounded.


THE DRAFT OF 1863.


This carried consternation to the hearts of the people. The first outburst of enthusiasm for the old flag had been succeeded by something of a reaction. The brilliant hopes


*


418 MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.


in the early summer of 1861, that the contest might end in ninety days had been rudely scattered.


It was seen that a long and weary contest was upon our hands; that the resistance of the South was firm, persistent, unyielding. A large number of men had already gone from this county. Death had reaped his bloody harvest, and many a family were in mourning over sons slain upon the battle- field, or perished by sickness and exposure in the distant States of the Confederacy. In the spring of 1863 the national cause was still dear to the hearts of the people, but there was no halo of glory to arouse enthusiasm. The romance was gone. The people were face to face with the stern reality of actual war; a war that was no holiday affair, but one that was bloody, destructive and uncertain. Defeat, disaster, humili- ation had fallen upon our arms, and the old flag, though upborne by loyal hands, had nevertheless trailed in the dust, as the grasp of the dying color bearer weakened upon the staff. It would have been more than human had there been no discouragement, no fearful forebodings of the future. There were those, however, whose faith in final success could never be shaken. The events of the summer too, should have inspired renewed confidence. The wave of rebel invasion had been rolled back from the heights of Gettes- burgh. Vicksburgh had surrendered, and other decisive victories had been won, but the full effect of these could not then be seen by the people at large. The resources of the Southern Confederacy had proved unexpectedly great, and its ability to supply its often depleted armies was well nigh marvelous. There was also the ever present danger of foreign interference, or at least of difficult diplomatic com- plications.


With this state of feeling came the draft which was made at Auburn for this Congressional District, commencing July 23d, 1863. This draft was made pursuant to the first of the Conscription laws, passed by Congress after the opening of the war. Many opportunities for exemption existed under this law. The support of parents or children, brothers already in the service, and numerous physical dis- qualifications, some of a light and trivial character, offered


2

facilities for escaping military service that did not exist after this statute was repealed, and did not apply to drafts made nearer the close of the war. In addition, the law allowed a drafted man to pay $300 and secure exemption, though he might be physically sound. As a consequence, this draft resulted in adding but very few men to the armies. To make allowance for these exemptions, the government ordered fifty per cent. added to the actual quota.


The following article from the Lyons Republican of July 24, 1863, gives the quotas of the several towns, and other items of explanation :


THE DRAFT.


"The Draft in the Twenty-fourth Congressional District commenced at Auburn yesterday. The quota of Cayuga county was to be first drawn. The quotas of the several towns in Wayne county (with the fifty per cent. added) are as follows :


Ontario 68


Williamson 60


Marion .


52


Walworth


55


Macedon


87


Palmyra


IO3


Arcadia


140


Lyons.


94


Sodus .


142


Huron 46


Rose ..


49


Galen


I 37


Wolcott. 75


Butler . 63


Savannah


57


Total I228


" The several quotas will be drawn in the above order. All the proceedings connected with the Draft will be con- ducted in the most public manner. The names of those drafted and of those exempted will be published. Cayuga county will be drawn first. Wayne county will not be reached probably before to-morrow.


" By a recent order of the Provost Marshal General, towns which have furnished an excess of their previous quotas are to be credited with such excess, on the certificate of the Governor that the excesses really exist. The quotas


420


MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.


to be drawn, as above, will, however, be drawn, all the same ; and afterward the excess will be deducted from the number drafted, and a corresponding number drawn from the drafted men."


Preparatory to the Draft of 1863, an enrollment was made by the following officers :


Arcadia-Joel Soverhill.


Butler-Samuel Miller.


Galen-Charles H. Reed.


Huron-Correll Upson. Lyons-A. M. Wheeler.


Macedon-C. P. Hulbert.


Marion-Amasa Stanton.


Ontario-Alexander Sands.


Palmyra-G. N. Williams.


Rose-G. W. Ellinwood. Savannah-B. O. Servis.


Sodus-George S. Putnam.


Walworth-F. M. Sanford.


Williamson-L. S. Cuyler.


Wolcott-Charles Blakely.


The following were the results in part of the drawing for the several towns,-the names being drawn from those of the first class not exceeding thirty-five years of age :


It has been found difficult to give the complete results of the Draft. The newspapers at that time reported the status of men very well for a week or two, and then dropped the matter without clearing up the lists. Names are also badly spelled in the newspaper lists from which we copy.
